Economic Communication between Croatian lands in the 18th century

U radu se razmatra trgovačko-posrednička djelatnost između hrvatskih zemalja u 18. stoljeću kao najprisutniji oblik gospodarske komunikacije. Razvoj tendencije robne razmjene između pojedinih dijelova hrvatskog etničkog prostora uvjetovan je nizom okolnosti poput razlomljenosti toga prostora na različite upravno-političke čimbenike, interesima mletačke i bečke središnjice te općem geopolitičkom i društvenom stanju hrvatskog prostora, ali i zapadne, srednje i jugoistočne Europe. U ovisnosti s tim čimbenicima, osiguranje i izgradnja prometne infrastrukture u komercijalne svrhe svoj začetak ima u prvoj polovici 18. stoljeća. Iz tih pretpostavki proizlaze središnje paradigme rada o konjunkturi kopneno-pomorske tranzitne trgovine na hrvatskom jugu te ona o konjunkturi žitne tranzitne trgovine na panonsko-jadranskoj magistrali s naglaskom na drugoj polovici 18. stoljeća. Uz argumentiranje činjenicama iz literature gradi se slika o trgovini kao važnom posredničkom mediju između hrvatskih prostora i ljudi u posljednjem stoljeću ranoga novog vijeka.The topic of discussion in this paper is the trade and intermediary activities between Croatian lands in the 18th century as the most prevalent form of economic communication. The development of the trade in goods trend between several Croatian ethnic areas was determined by a number of circumstances, such as fragmentation of the area into a variety of administrative and political factors, the interests of the Venetian and the Vienna headquarters, general geopolitical and social state of the Croatian territory, but the western, central and southeastern Europe as well. Depending on these factors, security and the construction of the traffic infrastructure for commercial purposes has its origins in the first half of the 18th century. On the base of these assumptions derive the central paradigms of the work upon the progress of terrestrial-marine transit trade in the Croatian south and the transit trade of wheat on the Panonian-Adriatic coastal highway, with the emphasis on the second half of the 18th century. Using the argumentative facts from the academic sources, a picture of the trade as an important intermediary medium between the Croatian areas and people in the last century of the Modern age is being created
